Some really insane news broke across the web this evening! On TV Guide it was first reported that Brooke Smith, Erica Hahn, on “Grey’s” had been fired. WHAT !?!? This Thursday is her LAST SHOW!

TV Guide heavily hints that the decision was dictated by the network. . . Oh but wait, there is more! Kristin at E! reports not only is Brooke fired, but Melissa George, who was to play Meredith’s bisexual friend Sadie and steam up this story . . . well yeah it looks like her bisexualness has gone the way of Anne Heche’s and pretty much all gay story-lines have been dropped from the show.

Rainbow-Color me VERY confused! ABC has a very good track record with gay-friendly stories, but TV Guide basically makes it sound like the orders came from higher up. What is going on? I am bewildered, stunned and a bit pissed off. So here is my letter to Shonda and ABC venting my frustrations . . .

Dear Shonda Rhimes and ABC,

I have been addicted to “Grey’s” for a long time, but at the same time the show hasn’t been doing so hot in my opinion. You’ve tortured us for ages with Mer-Der to the point where it’s #%$@%#$@# or get off the pot. Alex and Izzie . . . um really, are you serious? I really loved the chemistry between Christina and the new Doc Owen, until the nasty pig-killing fiasco of last week. That was romantic how? The one storyline that has kept me entertained and laughing this season has been Erica and Callie, and now you up and fire Erica (Brooke Smith). I’m really confused, as it seems someone at ABC is trying really hard to make me turn off this show. I have far too much clogging up my schedule and TIVO, so if that is your wish I can really give you what you want. Please note I have no intention of abandoning your network all together, as I still love “Housewives” and “Brothers and Sisters.” I’m just very confused by this decision.

Signed,
Pissed Off Dustin!
